Geography

The commune is bordering on Luzarches, Bellefontaine, Jagny-under-Wood and Lassy.

History

Its name comes from the Gallic pleissiacum , plessis, enclosure or strong house.

Plessis-Luzarches is without-doubt resulting from a dismemberment of Luzarches. The village appears only at the 12th century in a deed of gift of Dîme S by Payen de Presles. The stronghold belonged to the deanery of Montmorency. The ground remained without lord until in 1327, date on which it became property of Pierre de Berchère, whose family was also lord of Chaumontel. Towards 1400, the property was partly sold with the célestins of Paris which preserved it until the Révolution, and partly, in 1412, in Pierre de Villers; this last part became the possession in 1597, of Edouard Molé, adviser at the Parliament, which transmitted this seigniory to its descendants, lords of Champlâtreux. The goods of the célestins were sold like national goods with the Revolution. A legend, according to which the lord of the place would have played part of his field against that of Bellefontaine and would have lost the part, would explain the exiguity of the commune.

Administration

Plessis-Luzarches belongs to the jurisdiction of authority of Écouen, and great authority as well as trade of Pontoise.
